Application July 3, 1946, Serial No. 681,295

1 Claim. 1

My present invention relates to an improved complete wax paper dispenser of plastic and more particularly to the type of dispenser adapted for use with a roll of sheet material and so formed as to provide a complete cover for the roll of sheet material and to include an overlapping edge across which the sheet material may be drawn to sever the sheet.

In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated one complete example of the physical embodiment of my invention according to the best mode I have thus far devised but it will be understood that various changes and alterations may be made in the exemplified structure within the scope of the appended claim.

In the drawings- Figure 1 is a front elevational view of the dispenser of my invention.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view thereof.

Figure 3 is an end elevational view.

Figure 4 is a transverse vertical sectional view; and

Figure 5 is a detail view showing the end construction of the dispenser.

Referring now to the drawings wherein like characters indicate like parts I have illustrated the present embodiment of my invention as including a molded plastic sheet 2 of cylindrical shape and having the ends thereof beaded or rolled as at 4 and these beads are notched as at 5.

The plastic sheet which is preferably transparent, may be made in suitable colors to enhance the sales appeal and is so formed as to be sold filled as a complete article.

The beads 4 along the ends of the sheet are interlocked as at 6 and one end 8 of the sheet overlaps the other end to form a passage therebetween for the sheet material contained within the cylinder.

End disks I I] are provided to close the ends of the rolled sheet.

In the present illustration I have employed a roll of sheet material M which may be wax paper or other selected merchandise wound about its core It.

The finger hole 3 is provided in the case 2 to permit relative access to the contained roll should the end of the sheet of material become disengaged from the passage.

In use the case and the end disks are disposed 2 about a roll of sheet material on the core and the end of the material is permitted to extrude from the passage between the overlapping end and the under end of the case.

The end of the sheet material may be pulled from the case thus unwinding the rolled material and when a suitable and desirable amount or length has been Withdrawn the sheet is drawn upwardly or downwardly and across the edge of the overhang to sever the sheet.

For certain types of rolled sheet material it may be necessary to serrate the edge of the overhang but for all practical purposes and for normal sheet material the stiff plastic overhang will neatly cut the sheet as outlined above.

The case and the contained roll of material may be assembled with facility and will present an attractive dispenser for such items as rolls of waxed paper and the present structure is preferably disposable when the roll of material is exhausted although it is not difiicult to refill the dispenser and use it continually.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A dispenser for use with rolled sheet material comprising an open-ended cylinder case formed with one longitudinal edge overlapping the other longitudinal edge to form a passage for the unwound material, inturned beads along the side edges of the case at the periphery of the open ends thereof, and end disks having means coacting with said beads for securing the beads and the disks and interlocking means on the beads for securing the longitudinal edges of the casing in fixed relation to each other at the open ends of the open ended casing.
